Is Orangeville tiring of Canada’s national summer sport, or does she find the financial pace too fast? Last week’s Orangem'lle Sun, under the heading, “How About La- crosse?” says: . “So far nothing has been done to organize the Dufferin Lacrosse Club for the coming year. Why? The annual meeting of the O. A. L. A. will be held on Good Friday, and the local officials should be organ- '--v â€"VV'__ iezd now and be making prepara- tions for the coming season.

VIIVI. r-wc-wv - in the seniof'series, colnpetition for players is going to be keen. Only ‘seconds’ will be available at the last minute. Say when!” For the past few seasons, Orangeville’s lacrosse team has been the talk of the sporting fra-% ternity and the envy of about one hundred per cent of the smaller towns throughout Ontario. Evi- dently, however, something has “slipped” down in the Dufferin County metropolis, and it would‘ be interesting to know just what the trouble really is. As a strictly amateur team ( on paper, at least), the news that the seniors went in the hole last season to the tune of $600 was a bit mystical, and a lot of us up in this country can scarce- ly figure it out in the face of the $1,500 gates reported at Orange- ville last summer in the senior series. In reality, we think the trouble lies in the fact that Orangeville seniors could not have been as am- ateurish as their C. A. A. A. cards would indicate, and last year’s back- ers are loath to dig down deeper this season to keep lacrosse on the map in that good laerosse town-3 It’s a good sign, however. If a few more of these big teams blow up, it may mean a new lease of life for smaller towns where money for sports is not quite so flush as in some other centres. In the good old days before the semi-pro was quite so much in evidence and the game was played for the love of it much more than it is today, la- crosse flourished, with three times as many teams as are now playing. There may not have been as good lacrosse, but we venture the asser- tion that the public of Ontario gen~ erally had more enjoyment than is the case today in watching a few teams comprised of highly-priced amateurs. And we don’t mean this for Orangeville alone. Whether true or not, the general concensus of opinion throughout the country is that teams that ever get anywhere in either lacrosse or hockey, are a long way removed from the simon- pure amateurs they represent them- selves to be. The pulpwood embargo scare has been of some service, anyway. Now comes the announcement that the International Paper Company will erect a $27.000,000 paper mill on the Ottawa River. More work for Canadian workmen. The big trouble with the liquor question, as with politics, is that neither side plays the game fair. The average voter and right-mind- ed citizen is not troubled with the fine points of the O. T. A., nor with a lot of troubles of the Moder- ation League, preferring, rather, the straight, unvarnished truth about the situation. Does he get it? The Farmers’ Sun is gradually getting back to its correct position politicallyâ€"in the Liberal column. Persistent attacks on everything Tory may be expected from now Someone is always taking the joy out of life. Now comes Ber- narr McFadden with the statement that the recent diphtheria outbreak and spectacular rush on antitoxin to Nome was “all newspaper pub- licity stufl'.” Kincardine town council has re- ceived seventeen applications for chief of policeâ€"all except one from outside of town. What does this mean? Do Kincardine citizens dodge this responsibility or is a chief of police job in that town anything but a sinecure? “and”, larch 12, ms.

In the Public School. you have. shown equal zeal in trying to advance the best inter- ests of education. While. like the rest of us. you have had tn endure the Ups and downs of the strenuous life of oper- ating a farm. we trust those exper- iem'es max prepare you the better for “him“ er duties of life Vou may choose to pursue. We now ask you to accept this purse. not for the sake of its inâ€" trinsic valm‘. but as a something by which you will ever give. us a place in ynur mommy and cause you to think of t_hr~_friends of yomj youth. In eonelnsion. we now wish you good health and much happiness in vonr no“ home and the best of suc- cess in all \our undertakings. and when our \\ otk is done and parting days are m or. may we all meet again to eommenee life that. knows no end- ing: in :1 higher and better world.

ROMANCE AND MYSTERY IN LATEST GILBERT PICTURE “Just 03 Broadway,” by Frederick and Fanny Button, is Drama of Secret Service and Interesting Love Affair With Plenty of Action. International intrigue in which the. Ameriran secret service plays a brilliant part. furnishes the basis for the. William Fox production “Just ()tl' Broadway.” an entertaining picture which opens tomorrow night at the Veterans‘ Star theatre. John Gilbert has the leading role, and he handles. it. with his usual grace. Mar- izm Nixon. as the destitute little Brogidway Show girl. is superb._ The story concerns a girl who finds herself innocently allied with a hand of rrooks, one of whom, a woman, has befriended her. The action moves from New York to Pairs and hack again, with a man she believes to be. one of the crooks, always singling her out for his at- tentions. And in spite of the life she believes he leads. the girl loves him. The strange fact is that he believes the same of her and has hopes of reforming her. .The man, in reality, use secret service agent._ How they finally straighten out the tangle of their lives and end the activities of the crooks, goes to make a most interesting picture, which is strengthened by the work of Gilbert and Miss Nixon, support- ed by a capable cast. Ben Hen- dricks. Jr.. Trilby Clark and Pierre Gendron deserve particular mention and the direction by Edmund Mor- timer has been well done. ___ â€"vâ€"â€"‘r' The story was written by Freder- ick and Fanny Hatton masters of the drama as it should be done for the screen.‘ Scenes of New York and Paris are particularly excellent and the life of Broadway in the “Roaring Forties” is portrayed with intense realism Obviously, with secret ser-. vice operatives and the most desper- ate type of criminal known to in- ternational police. the picture is as full of stirring action as it is of romance.

CHIEF DIBD III CALIFORNIA A telegram received Sunday from Coronado Beach, Cal.. brought the news of the sudden death there of Elliott 'G. Stevenson, of Detroit, president of the Detroit I’nited Rail- ways and one of the foremost trial lawyers in Michigan. The late Mr. Stevenson was born in Middlesex County, Ontario, in 1856, and was educated at the Komo- ka public school and seminary. His parents moved to Port Huron when he was 16, and he. was called to the bar there in 1877. He was prosecut- ing attorney from 1878 to 1882 and mayor in 1885. In 1887. he moved to Detroit and built up a large prac- tice. He was for many years vice- president of the Union Trust Com- pany, Toronto, and supreme council- lor of the I. O. F.. succeeding Dr. Oronhyateka, as sunreme ehief ran- ger on the latter’s death in 1907. This office he held for almost ten years. " Hg 'was prominent in the Demo- cratnc party’s councgls. A HUGE CODFISH THAT RIVALS SHARK Big Cousin of the God Is a Man-Eater When He Gets the Chance. Most people will bo astonished to hear of a manâ€"eating eodtish. For- tunately. the fish does not/frequent any of our coasts. hut lives in the waters of the East Indies. where it is known as the groper. or group- er. “In its prime." says Captain C. A. W. Mouckton. in some exper- iences of a New Guinea Resident Magistrate, “It grows to weigh sev- eral hundred pounds. and divers fear it more than they fear sharks. The huge codtish is afraid of noth- ing; and will nose up to a diver. smell around him until it diseovers his naked hands. and then will bite them oil". The hands of the diver are. the only part of his body that is outside the diving suit; the dress ends at the hands. and thick India- rubber bands that clasp the wrists tightly prevent water from entering [the suit. "If a diver meets a large groper, the only thing for him to do is either to ascend twenty or thirty feet and drift out of sight of the short-sight- ed fish, or rise to the surface. If he rises, he can lower a dynamite cartridge. which will either kill or wound the monster or frighten it away. Divers have told me, and my own experience bears out the fact. that a grOper, which is very slug- gish, will never pursue a diver or leave the bottom. “With the exception of the octo- pus, the giant codflsh is really the diver’s greatest enemy. No exper- ienced diver is afraid of the shark. which at best is a cowardly scav- enger and prefers to gorge on car- rion rather than to kill its own prey. Even when hunger has made it hold, the diver can easily frighten it away by suddenly emitting air bubbles from the valve in his helmet. “The fish grow to an immense size. I have seen one that was so large that when its mouth was open, the lower jaw was on the bottom, and the upper jaw was on the level of the diver’s helmet!” Mr. John Rome, who purchased the Henry Tanner farm on the South Line, Brant, five years ago for $M,000, has decided to practically abandon this property tomorrow for the encumbrance against it, and will step out‘after losing a cold $4,000 in cash, besides several years of hard work. Mr. Rome is an hon- est industrious chap, but was the victim of circumtances, he buying when land was practically at its peak, and just before the market on farm products broke. _ He is mov- ing on Friday with his wife and two sons to Hanover, where he has accepted a position managing the stock farm of Mr. Ralph Brunt, the well-known cattle dealer.-â€"'Walker- ton Herald and Times.
